What scope will work well with the Gamo bone collector? I have tried two both were shooting low and could not adjust to zero?

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I sent my bone collector back because I had good Hawke optics (check them out, real nice lenses, just get one rated for airguns) ... well long story short this thing was shooting randomly with real bad groupings, I'm talking 6 inches at 25 yds. If you can still send it back, look at the Crosman offerings, I got a cheaper crosman springer that was deadly accurate with the same scope.

Your problem is not the scope, Air rifles have barrel droop, some are unnoticeable and some are, but don't worry it can be fixed with things you probably have lying around the house.You can use anything to create a wedge on the rear part of the scope, I personally folded a piece of aluminum foil into a square about 1/8in in thickness and put it under the rear sight and TADA!!! Problem solved I was shooting 3 inches high (before I was about 2 inches low)or.........you can blow $50-100 on droop compensation scope mounts.....whatever you want to do

lol well ok First, do not waste your money on so called Air Rifle scopes, have yet to see one that was worth even the low price air rifles do a double recoil, due how they work I have tried three air rifle scopes, and all failed after use next hint get a tiny amount of aluminum foil and fold it up a only a couple of times, put it between the scope and the rings will move the sight poine will take experimating I purchased a Springfiels Armory Rifle scope suitabule for a center fire rifle did cost a few times more, but it has not stopped working as a couple of opossum and some squirrles might attest to from varmint heaven lol good luck lol well ok First, do not waste your money on so called Air Rifle scopes, have yet to see one that was worth even the low price air rifles do a double recoil, due how they work I have tried three air rifle scopes, and all failed after use next hint get a tiny amount of aluminum foil and fold it up a only a couple of times, put it between the scope and the rings will move the sight poine will take experimating I purchased a Springfiels Armory Rifle scope suitabule for a center fire rifle did cost a few times more, but it has not stopped working as a couple of opossum and some squirrles might... » Read More lol well ok First, do not waste your money on so called Air Rifle scopes, have yet to see one that was worth even the low price air rifles do a double recoil, due how they work I have tried three air rifle scopes, and all failed after use next hint get a tiny amount of aluminum foil and fold it up a only a couple of times, put it between the scope and the rings will move the sight poine will take experimating I purchased a Springfiels Armory Rifle scope suitabule for a center fire rifle did cost a few times more, but it has not stopped working as a couple of opossum and some squirrles might attest to from varmint heaven lol good luck « Show Less

The spring hits so hard it binds the post , or you have start wearing the plastic connection between where the barrel and stock connect . I don't know how any break barrel could be scope wearthy . The barrel can't go back to 0 . That's like taking a scope on and off every time you shoot .

I am very pleased with my gamo. I am sure there are others that are better if you are willing to spend the money but for my use this is perfect. great for small game and target and a great rat gun. the scope is sufficient for the gun. holds target great. im happy. I don't believe it can be purchased without the scope. also buy premium pellets.

I agree with the answer submitted by HIGHRPM below. Although I do not own either of the firearms you mention, I would bet that you can pick a spot on each to attach the one level. Then adjust your scope to match with the other level. This has never failed to work on any of my guns.

Wish I could give you a good answer I but have no experience with your rifle though it is reputed to be a great one. Did find zeroing mine mounted on an M&P; AR 10 was a piece of cake! I bore sighted @ 25 yds then within 5 rounds had a perfect zero @ 100 yds. Have not done any longer yardages but am eager to see how well BDC measures up. M-308 is my 3rd Nikon tactical scope...I think a great bang for the buck! Good luck on your decision.

Haven't had a chance to use this one yet but I had an earlier version of the Leapers/UTG that I absolutely loved, held zero perfectly. Just make sure to tighten mounts after shooting a lot, never missed til then lol...Savage 110/Win .270

It's a nice durable scope. I've read some people's reviews using it on their .308's and their .30-06's. I've got mine on just a .223 and the only problem I ran into was the scope mounts it came with. I had a hard time getting the fine tuning I wanted at 100yd. The mounts it comes with are see through. Two people besides myself tried to sight it in as well. With my previous scope using Winchester sliver tip ballistics I could group 3 shots the size of a dime. With this scope on none of us could get it that well dialed in. We all felt it was the mounts causing the issue. I've put new mounts on but sadly haven't been back out to try again. It's defiantly nice for the price with great zoom and view.

The Gunsite scout is a 308 rifle might not hold zero due to the recoil, I have a regular optic on my gunsite.

I have posted on this scope before. It is not a reliable scope, at least for me, as I could never get it to ZERO. If you cant get the scope to zero, parallax is irrelevant. Assuming you CAN get this scope to zero at some range, you can use the poor man's parallax determination technique. It is painful, but it may help you find the parallax distance. When parallax is set correctly, you should be able to move your eye VERY SLIGHTLY left to right and up and down. If the TARGET stays in the crosshairs, you have found your parallax distance. If the target dances around the crosshairs, you have NOT found the correct parallax. I would recommend setting up targets every 5 yards from 25 to 100 yards(assuming you are using this as a rifle scope not an air rifle scope). This should help you locate the parallax. Most scopes would be at 100 yards, but I do not know what this scope is set up for. I would recommend this link http://www.pyramydair.com/article/What_does_AO_mean_September_2005/25 for some discussion on Adjustable Objective. The idea is to turn the objective bell while watching your target. When the view becomes clear, the parallax is correct. Also, a number of these AO scopes place DISTANCES on the bell. This can be used for adjusting your scopes to hit higher or lower (for people that have an understanding of scope DOPE). Either way, you should be able to get your parallax under control with the AO adjustments or a fixed adjustment of the AO at a known distance. All of my longer range optics have a separate adjustment knob for parallax excluding the 2.5-10 which has a fixed parallax at 100 yards. My 5.5 -25 and 5-22 and the 4-30 ALL have parallax adjustments on the side of the scope. Hope this helps.

I gave theP-22 BDC scope to my son-in-law. We both tested it out on fine Fall day. It was awesome, it worked just like the add said on an AR15. We zeroed at 50 yards using a range finder then set up targets out to one hundred. The 100 yard target was composed of 4x4 inch plates hanging from a saw horse type set up. We never missed at any of the targets and it was awesome hearing the ping after each shot. Because of that I just bought a .22 caliber for myself in AR15 model. I am planning to buy two more of these scope, one for myself and one for my son. Sorry I don't know the eye relief but I believe it is available on the Nikon website.

Sorry can't help you. I just utilize the scope that came with the rifle. It's been a good rifle for me.

For the BDC reticles to work properly, the scope needs to be zeroed at 100 yds. That being said, experimentation on your own at different distances may provide other workable solutions.

I found that the standard Crossman .177 pointed premium pellets works fine for me. Like most air rifles you have a break in period to get the shots to be steady and accurate. Once broken in it hits what you aim at to your zero. Shoot what you prefer, but use that type and brand of pellet to keep your shots true.

I have found out that using the BSA 2-7X32 Edge Series Pistol Scope is the best overall! I like the EDGE 2x20 also but they seem to be just for the short shots and a bit harder to sight in fast. I have many pellet hand guns and they work well on all of them.

I like to use quick release Leupold or Warne rings. To use either at same time there are good rings that give you a sight picture of both but I don't like how high it makes the scope. Check with friends or friendly gun store where you can look at options and pick what you like best. I keep in mind that it is still a 22 and limit my use to under 100 yds for a fun gun that is cheap to shoot. I hope you enjoy your shooting either way.

I have one on my mini-14, which also has a bit of recoil. I like the scope, but I have to re-zero every time I go out. My advice would be to save a little extra money and go for a Nikon Prostaff. Excellent glass, inexpensive, and isn't bothered by recoil. I have one on my .308 that I just love.

I mounted mine and zeroed it within 4-5 inches of bullseye. Ran over 50 rounds and it still held target. I might be wrong, but this site is good for 50 yards. After that, it would be best to use a scope.

Hi there, I bought this scope for a Benelli Super Nove 12 ga. I realized after I purchased it the my shotgun was not drilled/tapped for a scope mount ( most shotguns aren't). I had to take my shotgun to ALocal gunsmith and he drilled-tapped, mounted the scope and bore sighted it for $50. Originally I thought I could mount the scope on the rob but it was way too far forward. The mounts and rings coat around $35. Took it turkey hunting and got a big gobbler at 68 yards. Hope this helps. Darren
